Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1744 Sending Her Home



Chapter 1744 Sending Her Home

When Lexiena arrived at the company the next morning, Raeleigh summoned her into her office. Jared

stood outside, unable to hear the conversation inside. Raeleigh didn't want him to hear it either.

Raeleigh passed a photo to Lexiena, who took a look at it and asked, "Isn't she the girl who took you

away the other day?"

"It's her."

Raeleigh was quite pleased Lexiena still remembered Maverly. She had a good memory.

"You'll be working there from now on. I've asked around. The hospital is in constant look for volunteers.

Of course, they won't be paid. Note that there's a child named Jacian. He has been admitted to the

hospital, and he's an orphan introduced by Maverly to stay in the hospital. He needs a caretaker, and I

need you to look after him. I'll notify Xanthus; as for Maverly, just get along with her. If my brother asks

about you, tell him I've sent you. You can return after Jacian is discharged. Remember to report to me

whatever's going on between Maverly and my brother. Don't call but text me before you go to bed every

night."

"Got it. Then should I pretend I was fired and leave now?"

"Yeah."

Lexiena was quite delighted, knowing tons of cash would be in her bank account this next few months.

Turning around, Lexiena feigned illness and exited Raeleigh's office with a woebegone expression,

rendering Raeleigh the urge to laugh.

Leaving Raeleigh's office, Lexiena deliberately approached Jared and said, "Miss Anson has expelled

me; I'm leaving. Will we meet again, Mr. Robertson? I've always idolized you."

Jared's mood turned sour at her words and scolded, "Get lost."

Jared would never pity anyone. He was already rather friendly toward her, considering her identity as a

traitorous spy.

Lexiena snapped out of her disappointment and left. She lifted her head arrogantly as though she had

found a better working place. Subsequently, she held her packed box and strode out.

Inside, Raeleigh tried to find a candidate to replace Lexiena, but she couldn't find the right one no

matter how.

Raeleigh deliberately took a trip to HR in the afternoon. However, there was a shortage of staff there,

so she had to wait until the next day.

It was a tough day at work for Raeleigh as Lexiena had left, and she only had one good hand.

Leaving work, Raeleigh went home in Jared's car. It seemed that one day was enough for them to get

accustomed to sitting in the same car.

After returning to the manor, she got out of the car and asked the servants if Xanthus had returned; she

shook her head.

Raeleigh entered the house and called Xanthus, asking if he would be coming back later that night.

"I need to perform a surgery. I might not go back tonight. Don't wait for me."

"My, my dear brother sure has been working night shifts a lot lately."

Helpless, Xanthus explained, "I really have one."

"Sure."

.....

Raeleigh smiled and hung up before walking further in. She ordered the servants to prepare lesser

servings for dinner, wanting to have dinner with Jared.

After dinner, Raeleigh rested downstairs for a while and received a message from Lexiena meanwhile.

She reported what she saw during the day and that she was looking after Jacian right then while a guy

named Heston came. He was pursuing Maverly.

"How does he look?"

"Not bad. He comes from a wealthy family."

"Do you like him?"

Lexiena sent an 'embarrassed emoji', and Raeleigh laughed. "Try seducing him first. If he takes the

bait, I'll give you a hundred thousand as a bonus no matter whether the two of you end up as a couple

or not."

Lexiena was rendered speechless, unable to process the situation.

But she set her heart on the bonus quickly.

After a while, she sent an 'OK hand sign emoji'.

Whether he'd end up as her boyfriend was something for her to think about another day. But it wasn't

too difficult of a task for her to grab his attention.

Hence, Lexiena used every trick in the book to pursue Heston.

Heston complained to Maverly, "I don't think this girl is right for this place."

"What do you mean? My friend introduced her."

Maverly believed in Raeleigh.

Heston was in no position to grumble more. He always felt that Lexiena was a little disingenuous,

wondering why she kept inquiring about his daily life.

There was also something amiss with the way she looked at him.

Heston and Maverly were sitting outside and talking about it when Xanthus came. He didn't look too

pleased to see them sitting side by side.

"Shouldn't you guys be taking care of Jacian?"

Xanthus was the most determined and diligent out of anyone when it came to Jacian.

Maverly stood up. "Lexiena's inside."

Xanthus nodded and entered Jacian's ward.

Lexiena went to greet him as soon as she saw him at the door.

"Dr. Osteen."

"Hi."

Xanthus went to check on Jacian before turning to Lexiena. "How are you getting on here?"

"Well, I can't complain. I mainly run errands and answer the calls in the company; here, my job is to

look after Jacian. He doesn't ask for a lot and tends to be shy. So I can manage."

Lexiena kept a smile when she spoke. Xanthus also smiled at her amiably.

Maverly, who was at the door, had her eyes fixed on Xanthus. She thought he would never smile at

anyone but Raeleigh; it seemed she was wrong.

Despite her disappointment, Maverly adjusted swiftly, not letting her emotions show.

By the time Xanthus turned around, Maverly had already gone outside. She left her laptop near the

door, so she took it and was ready to go back.

Since there was someone to take care of Jacian, she could go home and finish her thesis.

Outside, Maverly told Heston she was leaving. Just when Heston was about to follow her, Lexiena

came out, calling out to Heston. "Heston, can you stay? I have something to ask you."

Heston wanted to turn her down, but Maverly had left, and Lexiena was in his way, so he stayed.

Maverly exited the hospital and got into the car. She was pretty unlucky that the car stalled not long

after leaving the hospital.

Maverly got out of the car and circled it in distress. Now that Lady Luck was against her, anything bad

could happen.

Just as she was about to make a call, Xanthus pulled over behind and got out of his car.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know. It won't move."

"Is it out of gas?"

Xanthus went to take a look. After confirming it wasn't, he called an auto mechanic and stayed with

Maverly.

After a quick check, the mechanic said, "I mean, I can still drive it to the garage, but just barely. It still

has to be fixed."

Xanthus knew them. He signed, and the car was driven away. Maverly stood at the entrance of the

hospital with her laptop in her arms, looking extremely depressed.

Xanthus got into his car. "Get in."

"You go ahead. I want to go home; I plan on finishing my thesis tonight."

"I'll drive you back."

Xanthus opened the door of the front passenger seat and asked her to get in. Maverly hesitated for a

moment, feeling disinclined. However, there was no cab around, and Xanthus didn't look like he would

take no for an answer, so she hopped in in the end. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Xanthus asked Maverly a few questions as he drove, but she never opened her mouth, either humming

in response or staring blankly into space.

As the car reached her villa, Xanthus got out and went around to open the door for Maverly, who was a

little nervous and almost fell when she got off. Consequently, she did not fall but fell into Xanthus's

arms!
